    So do you feel mature for your age?
    Do people say you are? Or are you forever to be a kid?
    How mature do you feel? :D
     
    I feel how I am supposed to feel a 16 wild teenager wanting everything from love to friends and women to stuff. But people say I act like an adult cause of all my responsibilities.
     
    Me? I'm still quite childish as,my mum and dad don't treat me as a teenager! They give me a happy meal in mc donalds STILL!
     
    I'm rather childish and fickle at times.
    I've joined many clubs to leave weeks after.

    Apparently, my writing is a lot more mature than the average person of my age.
     
    Though my emotions still need work, I consider myself to be mature for my age. It's a rare case indeed to find a 20-year-old college student who's responsible and cares about her education and career, not partying and blowing off class and generally having the 'this is pointless so I'm not doing it' attitude. I hate that.

    I was hated in high school 'cause I was about the only one that wanted to learn, not goof off and run around making inappropriate jokes and disrespecting people and disrupting class. Teenagers are monsters. I'm glad I skipped that stage.
     
    Actually my age IS my shoe size.

    I act mature, and goofy/immature depending on my surroundings. If I'm with my friends of course I'm going to act immature, but if I'm around adults, my parent, etc I'm going act mature because I don't want to embarrass myself, but I love acting immature.
     
    I'm extremely mature for my age. I am the only person I know of that cares about school and thinks it's important. I hate school, but I do think I need to go through it. I don't like parties and everything like that, I have neat grammar (which is rare on the internet) and I like to read. That is why I have few friends though.
     
    Okay i'm gonna first make a kinda funny point that involves one of my friends as well as answer my own thread :P

    When my friend who is 6"4 was 13 his shoe size was also 13 so we always made that joke 'Act your age not your shoe size!' xD

    And my second and main point is that i think i'm mature in some ways and in others i do act my own age. I'm definately more mature then my friends when it comes to the opposite gender and what not.. They're a bit obsessive sometimes.
    I think you can be mature if you try. It's all in your mind set. If you think you should be mature than you can be. It's all about sucking it up. Though immaturity can be caused by someone trying to cover something up. They might be trying to cover something up deep dpwn which they don't want to face and they use they're immaturity almost like a defence. A bit like the way some bullies are upset about something and they pick on other people to hide it.

    Maturity isn't all about growing up. I know people who have experianced more in their 15 year old life than some 80 year olds and they are as mature and wise. It's certainly something to do with your lifestyle and not their personality.

    So what i'm trying to say maturity goes a lot deeper than personality

    I feel I'm mature for my age. My parents say I am, so I must be.

    I agree with GavZ. Maturity isn't just your personality. It's more complicated than that. It sure is hard to explain, though.
     
    I guess I'm mature at some points, but at others I can be quite childish.
     
    I've been told that I can be quite mature for my age, but I must say my opinion of that differs. Yet in the end, I think it all boils down to your own definition of what mature really is. Is mature someone that can care for themselves (cook, clean, ect.)? Is mature someone with a calm and collected personality? Perhaps it relies on what one has experienced in their lifetime? Or maybe even a mixture of all of that?

    ...
    Ehhh, what was I getting at again? Bah, even I don't know. e_____e

    But I agree with GavZ. Some experiences can make your mind grow up faster, while others can keep one's mind in a more childish state.
     
    I'm not mature. At all. I'm really childish, and, I like to act that way, most of the time. ;3;
     
    I don't agree that someone can experience 'more' in 15 years than someone else in 80, as it doesn't matter what the experiences are or whether they help you grow or not, 80 years of life is a lot more than 15.

    I will say that there are those who are older that definitely lack maturity, like my mom for instance. She's 54, but she acts more like she's 5. Between the two of us, I'm the adult.
     
    I am apparently mature (and sometimes too careful etc.) because I'm in work, and all my friends are at uni piddling their money away on rubbish.

    I have a lot of responsibility at work, I guess that helps.
     
    I act my age when its necessary to do so, but if I'm with my friends or bored I'm not going to act my age


    :t354:TG
     
    I like to think that I am increasingly learning how to put others before myself, which I think is the main hallmark of maturity

    on the other hand I also play Pokémon and argue w/ people on the internet but imo being goofy on occasion and taking pleasure in "childish" pursuits =/= immaturity, necessarily.
     
    I'm apparently mature and smart for my age according to people I talk to, but meh. I can be childish and mature. I'm a mix. :[
